A handler whose row was re-leased while it sat between heartbeats (a
>=120 s stall) still ran the channel forward, opened the edit prompt and
released the keep-alive temp media the new holder was using; only the
terminal write was token-guarded, which left the side effects to run
twice. The lease is now exposed to the handler on a task-local
(Lease/lease_still_held) and the completion path re-reads it, since the
loss may have gone unnoticed by the heartbeat. The forward retry is gated
the same way.
A Permanent forward failure kept the prompt live, so the next Confirm
rebuilt the task with forward_offset 0 and copied the batches that had
already reached the channel a second time. A failure whose task offset is
non-zero now settles the prompt (as the retryable path does); a failure
that copied nothing still leaves it live for a retry.
The pipeline read settings through get(), which degrades a failed read to
defaults. A send then went out with the chat's channel forward and
edit-before-forward silently ignored, and the task it built carried those
defaults into the retry payload. try_get() is the strict read; an
unreadable row now drops the send and tells the user.
A heartbeat write error abandoned the attempt at once. The lease is still
valid until locked_until, so the attempt was dropped for nothing: the row
was recovered later and the task re-ran from the start, although its side
effects (a sent album, a copied post) may already have happened. A failed
beat now retries at the next tick; the attempt is abandoned only once the
next beat could land at or past the last confirmed expiry.
Three places disagreed with AGENTS' own level rules: get_chat/get_chat_administrators failures during /set_channel printed at error even though the usual cause is a mistyped channel name the user fixes on the spot (error is reserved for dead letters and the like — now warn, same as other user-served degradations); the edit-before-forward callback arrival line logged at info while the sibling arrival lines for commands and inline queries log at debug (now debug, still carries the escaped payload); and the two upload-fallback lines logged at info while photo.rs's parallel degradations log at warn (now warn both — Telegram failing to fetch our media is a degradation that leaves the user served). AGENTS' convention sentence is now explicit about all three instead of the ambiguous '(fallback, retry enqueue, dead-letter is error)'.
download_to_temp guarded against a file id, but prepare_upload_item answered a non-http media_url first — and item_url maps FileId to the id itself, so the id was presented as a local *path* and died later with a confusing file-open error instead of a classification. The guard now sits at the entry, download_to_temp takes the already-narrowed URL (the inner guard deleted as dead), and the test pins the refusal as Permanent before any I/O. The file also carries item10's download-classification arm (RateLimited is retryable there too) — same file, landed here to keep each tree compiling.
Two gaps in fetch_with_attempts: the sleep was the bare 1 << attempt, so every worker that failed together (a source coming back, a shared proxy blip) also recovered on the same tick and re-stamped the source; and a429 arrived as an anonymous Transient, its Retry-After header — the one place a source tells you exactly how long it wants silence — dropped on the floor.
retry_wait(attempt, roll, err) is the pure decision: doubling base plus a random slice of itself ([base, 2x base)), floored at a named Retry-After. status_error now takes the response, reads the seconds-form header and returns the new FetchError::RateLimited { site, retry_after_secs } (HTTP-date parses to None and stays transient); the pure table moved to classify_status so tests still build it from bare status codes. The delay is capped at MAX_RETRY_AFTER_SECS = 60 — the header is server-supplied and must not park one of the eight fetch slots.
Everywhere a Transient meant 'retryable' the new variant joins: the Site trait default, pixiv's override (plus its ugoira-zip mapping), bsky's HLS second attempt, the download classifier, and the user-facing message arm. Tests pin the429 rows (with and without the header, cap included) and retry_wait's math; AGENTS' retries bullet and variant list follow.
A non-photo body charged the process-wide budget for as long as download_to_temp held it; a photo charged nothing until its prepare step, so the download itself — up to MAX_PHOTO_DOWNLOAD_BYTES per item, six items per batch, eight prep slots process-wide — was memory the MEMORY_BUDGET comment promised was bounded but was not (~6x32 MiB on top of the accounted512 MiB). Photos now reserve their own download cap for that window; the prepare step still charges header probe + decode buffer, the only overlap that is actually held in memory together. Net accounting stays within the declared budget instead of exceeding it whenever a batch of large photos downloads at once (audit: upload.rs photo window uncharged).
send_media_group, send_animation and copy_messages paced themselves against both buckets; send_message and send_chat_action paced against neither. A dead-letter storm — or one error reply per failed item, plus the action refresh loop's repeated typing requests — could therefore burst past Telegram's per-bot30/s ceiling with only429s left to absorb it, exactly what the bot-wide bucket exists to prevent. Both now acquire one global token like their siblings (per-chat pacing for messages already happens at their call sites; chat actions are cheap and frequent, so only the global bucket applies to them).
plan_photo, target_dims and both pipeline branches added the two u32 dimensions before comparing against PHOTO_MAX_DIMENSION_SUM: u32::MAX + 2 wrapped to 1 and read 'within limits' — the plan said AsIs, and an absurd-sized image would go to Telegram untouched (in debug builds the addition panics instead). The four production sums now widen to u64 first; the test pins the wrap case as TooLarge. PNG caps each dimension at 2^31-1, so a spec-valid file cannot reach this today — the raw header is parsed before any crate validation, which is exactly where a hostile file lands (audit: photo.rs u32 wrap).
A button press on an edit-before-forward prompt already dropped records past EDIT_MESSAGE_TTL lazily (before the 300 s sweep clears them); a text reply to the same prompt did not — it rewrote the caption from a record the sweep was about to treat as dead, so the two paths disagreed about what 'expired' means. The reply path now applies the same rule: drop the stale record, return false, and let the message flow on as if no prompt existed. The test seeds a prompt90000 s old (past the TTL under any config a parallel test can hold) and pins all three effects: no edit consumed, no API call, record gone.
set()/update() logged a failed DB write and returned nothing: the cache already held the new value, so /set_format answered 'Format set' for a change that vanishes on the next restart — a promise the retry queue's enqueue path is already forbidden from making. Both now return whether the write landed, and /set_format's two save paths (set and reset) answer 'in memory only … lost on restart' when it did not. The flag travels as the second tuple element; callers that only relay the value destructure it, callers that ignore it are untouched. A false cannot be forced in a test without a pool-failure seam, so the honest path is pinned by the code, not a fixture.
A Telegram display name, callback payload or channel handle is attacker-controlled text, and it went straight into info/error lines: one embedded newline forged a second log entry, and control characters could hide inside a line (log injection, audit SEC-006). handlers::log_escape replaces newlines, carriage returns and other control characters with visible escapes — clean input borrows, so logging allocates nothing extra — and every site that prints such a value uses it: the callback arrival line, the set-forward-channel info line (name + handle) and both get_chat error lines. The test pins that no raw newline can survive; AGENTS' logging convention names the helper.
A one-line saturating_sub wrapper exported for one production line (the prompt text) and two assertions — the expression is shorter than its name at every use.
All three callers passed item.thumbnail_url() as the fourth argument — a parameter that could never vary without defeating its own purpose, and only the video arm ever reads it. The function takes the item already; it asks the item. Three call sites lose an argument.
photo_media, video_media and animation_media each wrapped the same five lines (build the kind, attach the caption, attach the spoiler) for exactly one caller — media_from's own match arms. The arms carry those lines now; three pub(super) functions and their call indirection are gone, and the dispatch the doc already described as 'the one place' actually is the one place.
InlineKind mirrored CachedMediaKind variant for variant (Photo/Video/Gif) and existed only to feed url_result, with two conversions kept in step: Media → InlineKind at the fetch call and CachedMediaKind → InlineKind at the cache call (plus the enum and the mapper). url_result takes CachedMediaKind now — the type the cache path already carries and the fetch path maps to with the same three-arm match — and the degraded-video skip collapses to a guard before the call. One enum fewer between a media kind and its Telegram result.
